(CNN) – Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is lending a financial hand to a group of House Republicans who have become targets of a new Democratic campaign over their opposition to the $787 billion stimulus bill.
In recorded telephone messages, text messages, and e-mails set to be sent out this week, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee plans to highlight the opposition of 12 House Republicans to stimulus package.
“What Republicans wanted was a bill to strengthen the economy,” Romney said in a statement announcing the $1000 donations by his Free and Strong America PAC. “What the Democrats passed was a bill to stimulate government. We are committed to helping these courageous Republicans defend their position and fend off political attacks.”
The “Undaunted Dozen,” as Romney calls them, “[stood] up for fiscal responsibility and [said] no to spending abuse.”
Although the former GOP presidential hopeful referred to the dozen members targeted by the DCCC, Rep. Adam Putnam of Florida was not sent a donation because he has announced that he is not seeking re-election in 2010, according to the PAC’s statement.

That's pretty funny.... the democrats targeting a representative who is not even running for re-election. Boy, did we just elect smart people to run our country or what?
Mitt Romey is an idiot....and proving himself quite well. MORON.
Wow...This is truly priceless. The Republican party is nothing more than the political mafia.
Ol' Mitt ... still irrelevant and clueless!
Mitt is slinging the mud fast and furious.....what he does best!
BIG DEAL WHERE WAS THESE TWELVE WHEN BUSH WAS IN OFFICE. THEY HAD THEIR NOSE UP HIS YOU KNOW WHAT ON EVERY SPENDING BILL BUSH SIGNED.
Typical Republican tactic.
Just another reason to vote straight Democratic.
Well I hope they take Romney's $1,000 and none of the stimulas package. Then stand on their principals as the rest of the nation pulls it's self out of this recession while their constituants fall into dire straits. Then these Americans will wise up, boot the 12 and get some help!
Just don't take the money and watch what happens!
Really, How dumb can you get
I wish I would have read this article after dinner--I think I'm going to get sick.
You go Mitt! I can't believe that the DCCC has nothing better to do a month after swearing in a new Democratic president than to start campaigning. The guys feet aren't even wet yet.
The Republicans voted their conscience and the America I grew up in allows us to differ in opinion. Maybe that was the Change we were to expect. No more freedom to express ourselves unless it is what the Dems want.
I don't think that is right. I am an independant and I tend to go with the dems on most things but when you are wrong you are wrong. I don't know who has the right answers but I do know that $13 in a paycheck and then $7.70 next year isn't going to stimulate anything!!! I'm not the only person who feels this way either!!!!
Mitt's got his Teeth on the Bit.
Romney is a key fundraiser for the national Republican Party, but he should spend more time cultivating moderates like himself (Specter, Snowe, etc.) for the 2010 and 2012 cycles.
Just give it time. When the democrats come off their kool aid high they will realize they have been taken for a ride with this stimulus bill. At least Bush put some cash in everyones pocket but this hunongus obama bill is payback to his buddies for services rendered. Once the blissful blind begin to see the light, every democrat in office right now will be history. This is the largest fleecing of america that we have ever witnessed.
DNC thugs vs. RNC thugs. RNC lied, DNC lied, Bush lied, Obama lied.
Time to start thinking third party locally, if you are tired of the same old politics.
Republican Mitt Romey has had NO SOLUTIONS concerning our economy along with all the rest of the Republicans. SLANDER and lies are about all they are capable of. Mitt can always sling the mud fast and furious.......nitwit.
Where is this money coming from?
You can bet your bottom dollar that all the "Undaunted Dozen" will take their share of the pie.....and still want more. GLUTTONS!
too little, too late
we have the names - WE will vote them out
I hope this comes back to bite Romney in the butt!
Romeny, you are a digusting piece of right-wing garbage. You have no future in politics.
TWIT!
Anything to kill the bill's purpose, by Romney, is likely to create a furor among the DCCC. His arguements are not powerful and will invite harsh criticism from the independants. Unless tax reduction is paired with draconian measures of belt tightenin', the Laffer curve of trickle principle has benn challenged by some economists. Hence the"Brave GOP 12" will face a threat of being named "the Dirty Dozen".
Mitt Romney is such a fake. He has got about as much republican so called fiscal responsibility in him as Michael Steele. They can't even make up their minds if they're a repub or dem. It is really sad that American people are suffering and instead of helping to come up with real solutions, they are using this time to play political games and "rebrand" themselves. I hope it backfires on them and the American people reject their false concern for the American people. The republicans have never been about the people and have never made decisions based on the the average American people. Citizens please do not get amnesia, these guys are trying to hoodwink you into believing they can do a better job. They had 8 years for their voice to be heard, but chose to sit on the side lines and let George W. Bush do whatever he wanted to do without a fight. They don't deserve to even have a voice!
these bunch of SPOILED REPUBLICANS PUT PARTY BEFORE HURTING PEOPLE!
God Bless You MItt Romey!!!!
This spending has got to stop!!! Our stock investments are going to disappear if it doesn't stop!!!
Foolish Boy.
Repubicans should stop their obstructionist politics and find a better way to make their mark. Ronnie is a loser, so do many of those in congress we are waiting to vote against come next electon.
ANYONE ATTEMPTING TO KEEP US IN THE BUSH PATH
OF COWBOY ECONOMICS FOR THE WEALTHY & THE
CONTINUED RAPE OF OUR NATION SHOULD BE VOTED
OUT OF OFFICE, REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT. ANYONE
STANDING IN THE WAY OF THE CHANGE WE HAVE VOTED
FORE NEEDS TO BE GONE OUT OF PUBLIC OFFICE, SABI.
He donated the $ from his PAC? Is that HIS money or funds donated to him by other contributors?
ONCE AGAIN its everyone else's fault.. SARAH!!! COULD IT BE that ITS YOU thats not qualified to even run your family let alone the USA? Sure blame it on the media.. oh by the way, 90% of the media is OWNED BY CONSERVATIVE REPBULICANS..is there not a lesson in this SARAH? Could it be YOU thats the problem??? DUH!
Buying political favors, Romney?
Just another of the many disgusting acts by the republicans.
Your are showing your true stripes Mitt... We will remember this in 4 years!
Hey Romney, what the hell can a $1,000 buy buddy? Why don't you DONATE the money from the sale of your two homes for sale.......
Yep, we thought so. Another Republican who's all TALK and NO WALK....
God Bless You Mitt Romey!!! This spending spree Obama is on needs to STOP. The dems complained about Gov. Palin's wardrobe spending – well this is MUCH MUCH more than her clothes!!!!
COMPLAIN!!!! I do not want my stock investments to disappear!!
If you are so wealthy why don't you help those who need it, not these stupid idiots.
These Congressmen are American heroes. They are standing up to the irresponsible democrats/socialists who want to destroy the U.S. econonmy so they can implement their marxist regime.
THANKS MITT!!! If you had been nominated last year, you would be President right now. I'm looking forward to 2010 when the GOP retakes congress and politically cripples the Obama administration for its final 2 years.
These guys have become "targets" of the democrats? What a joke that is...by the time 2010 rolls around, most Americans will have figured out that they were hoodwinked by Kommandant Obama and his politburo.
JUST LISTEN TO THE SCUMBAG.
WE CAN COUNT. WE CAN COUNT.
THE NAZUCANS LEFT US WITH THE BIGGEST
GOVERNMENT & THE BIGGEST DEFICIT IN THE HISTORY
OF THIS NATION & IT WASN'T SPENT ON US. THE SCUMBAGS
NEVER STOP LYING & STEALING UNTIL THEY ARE IN JAIL.
Mitt 2012 !!!
Glad to hear that Romney is meddling in local races.
I'll be sure to fund the opponents of these men in their races.
No more of the rich ... like Romney .... thinking they can buy elections and force a particular result.
Brilliant move. I always admired his sense of sound business acumen. Who better than to lend his name and money but a former Governor, tried , tested and delivered in all facets of his life. A good opportunity for an election campaign platform...lol.
“Undaunted Dozen,” as Romney calls them, “[stood] up for fiscal responsibility and [said] no to spending abuse.”
This is a joke right!?!?!? Look who is talking????? Delusional republicans!! THIS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THE PAST 8 YRS!! unbeliavable!!
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE LEFT US WITH THE LARGES DEFICIT
IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION & THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO
TALK ABOUT LARGE GOVERNMENT. THEY HAVE DESTROYED
OUR ECONOMY & PROBABLY THE ECONOMIES OF THE ENTIRE
WORLD. WHOEVER BELIEVES THEIR VILE LIES DESERVES THEM.
THE ANTI-AMERICAN SCUMBAGS NEED TO GIVE IT A REST.
To everyone suffering now:
Remember, these are the clowns that have not only caused your suffering. They not only are solely responsible for the WORLD falling apart, but now they are the ones trying their hardest to obstruct any effort to rectify the situation.
Why is anyone even listening to them anymore?
Still Clueless!
Mitt Romney is a moron. This guy made a fortune on Wall Street due to lack of regulation and he is one of the reasons America is broke today. Typical Rebublican greed.
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE SPENT $10-15 BILLION ON IRAQ
EVERY MONTH, SOLD US OUT TO THE BIGGEST BIDDER
FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS & NOW ARE TALKING ABOUT BIG
GOVERNMENT.
LISTEN SLEAZOS!!!!
IT IS OUR TAX $$$$$$S & WE ARE SPENDING ON US.
YOU CAN ALL PACK UP & GO TO HELL !!!!
Not agreeing with the structure and components of the bill is one thing, but not sitting down to work out a compromise and ostracizing fellow Republicans who did sit down to negotiate is unforgiveable. That is obstructionist behavior at it's finest.
Dems better get their heads out of the pork barrel and smell what they're selling.
Dems are gonna be in for a big surprise come 2010.
We're 100% behind you Mitt.
Finally someone standing up for what's right rather than "crush and destroy" politics of the Obama administration.
Mitt Bush!
Love it when Mitt does one thing after saying another. He's the one who went to Michigan and said that he would "revitalize" the auto industry, now he says we should let it go into chapter 11. Romney thinks he's a player, but his ability to rally troops is really limited. If you look at how much life he breathed into the MA GOP, you'll know where he stands: Mitt is all about Mitt.
Dick Mitt BUSH!
What a LOSER, Mitt. This moron is just trying to get points now so he can run for office in 2012, who in their right mind will vote for this pretty BOY!!! I don't trust politicians but i really don't trust this joker.
I ask again why PACs are legal. Why should any person looking to represent the people be allowed to accept money from outside of their district?
PACs, Special interests, Corporate contributions, and Lobbyists, fund and elect our Government usurping "We the people"
What a crock. Old Mormon Mitt needs to hold on to all the cash he can. He'll need it when he runs again in 2012.
OBAMA IS AN IDIOT !!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like the Stormin' Mormon fell off the hay cart on his way to the barn dance and got his head stepped on by a horsey. Must be all that trouble getting rid of his mansions and down-sizing to multi-million dollar condos. And you GOPers blabber about Obama doing things just for spotlight and political advantage? Please. This guy's the peacock of political mating dancers.
Whaaat? Now members of the Republican party are paying their members to NOTparticipate in solving America's problems? OctuRoms! Paying someone to be irresponsible and being proud of it!
You betcha!
YOU PEOPLE ENJOY YOUR 13 DOLLARS A WEEK CUZ THATS ALL YOUR GONNA GET, UNLESS YOU LIKE PORK THEN EAT UP!!!!!
dah dah dah daaaah dah...and on with the show....dah dah dah daaaah dah
gee, I sure hope nobody mentioned MacBeth before this actor's performance....
someone is starting the 2012 campaign early...
When 2010 comes and I am still unemployed, I will vote the dems out just as I did the repubs. When will you dems learn ideas to not translate directly into results and you will find yourselves asking what happended in 12.
Former Republican...very glad you are FORMER. we don't need the likes of you. Continue to spew forth your hate and vitriol with your lwefty friends. And Southern Bell.... get real. Iraq did not cause this mess. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd did when they forced banks in to questionable lending practices.
FORMER REPUBLICAN: If you were EVER a republican, I'm the pope.
Who do you think you are kidding? Your little masquerade may fool the gullible, dim-witted Obama kool-aid drinkers, but the rest of us are smart enough to know better.....you life-long democrat you.
Well he should have plenty of money to contribute after selling his ski chalet.
I am so angry at George W and the Republicans for leading us down this horrible path!!! I have so much sympathy for Pres Obama. Romney should realize that the reason why the Republicans have made NO, ZERO gains in the eyes of the American people with their opposition to this bill is because the American people are not stupid (give or take the majority of Republicans). We understand that they dug this unprecedented hole that Pres Obama and the Democrats have to figure out how to get us out of!
Republicans you cannot rewrite history. YOU CAUSED THIS MESS!!!
The hypocrisy of the Republicans is astounding. Let's give hundreds of billions of $ to Wall Street with no oversight and demand that it be approved immediately – when the idiot in the White House is one of them. But not a single dime is deserving when the new occupant is on the other side.
And I suppose Democrats did not want a bill to stimulate the economy? How stupid does he think we are? If this bill does not work, Republicans will bear the blame, because they forced the changes that made it less effective, then refused to do anything but turn their backs on Americans. Despicable behavior continues...
Mitt Romney always brings sharp, clean reason to these issues. Eventually, I would not be surprised if he ends up being the guy that really fixes the economy. Even by the administrations own word we can't expect much for maybe a few years. Chances are then, that's all they'll get. There are quicker fixes, but they don't involve a spending spree.
Send me a check too Doctor! You are loaded and the stimulus is too small for ya!
Is this the money from the mansions he's selling, or different money? It's wasted money because those obstructive Republicans have to go so we loyal Americans can recover from the Bush Interregnum.
The Romneys of the world just don't get it. They are the filthy rich that have caused the bulk of the electorate to be filthy poor. He would do better to lend the money to the poor that his Republican Party empoverished.
They put their own heads on the chopping block.. let them pay the price.
the dirty republicans.. that's the story..
Romney is just a stuffed shirt with a mouth
Even less useful than most Republicans ... if that's possible
oh...looks like the DCCC is giving the GOP a taste of its own bitter games. I hope we get a lot harder on them. Its about time that party was taken out into the woods and slapped around. The bloodbath of november 2008 was just the beginning
a southern bell,
You apparently dont pay taxes otherwise you would not be so hot
to see additional spending.
That is okay my family will pay our bills, our taxes, and make sure you continue to be able to use the computer at the library while you waste away your day.
Get a JOB and contribute.
Mary... Your "stock investments"...are gone. The Wall Street crooks took them just like they did mine years ago. You gambled and lost!! Forget about it.
Barack spent 90 Million Dollars on his Inauguration.
He raised 750 MILLION on his campaign.
The guy spent your money and his. Stop complaining. You knew what you were in for when this guy got elected. Barack loves to spend other peoples money.
Clinton spent 30 million on his inauguration. Bush spent 40. BARACK 90. In the middle of a financial crisis. Like he didnt know the economy was in the dumps when he ran. The guy is a joke. I was wishing him well, up to the point he keeps spending and wants to nationalize banks. He wants to be and is a Benelovent Dictator.
This sure seems close to "Pay to Play".
Most of the 12 have been in office so long they need to be put out anyway. When will the public start demanding term limits on the House and Senate so the old geezers don't die setting in their chamber chairs???
JULY,
Get Educated. Mitt Romney and George Bush are opposites.
They are nothing alike and dont believe in the same things.
MITT is financially conservative and very sound. He is socially conservative as well. He is against illegal immigration.
Bush in fact was very moderate and close to being a liberal on spending and the immigration issues. He was really only conservative on the war.
Think before you write something. It makes you look ignorant.
McCain said Governor Romney lies – I believe him!
After the last eight years, the GOP is hardly credible with "fiscal responsibility," wasting trillions on an unnecessary diversion in Iraq while giving tax breaks to the wealthiest incomes in the middle of a war. No wonder Romney seems to have more money to spare. Come on.
At least this spending is meant to stimulate/save our country's economy this time.
TO: FORMER REPUBLICAN.
First I dont believe you. That is a lie.
Second If you are so concerned about the 5 Trillion that George Bush left us in 8 TOTAL years...
WHY are you so eager to support Barrack who has listed Deficits of 1.6 Trillion for 2009, 1.3 Trillion 2010. 1.3 Trillion for 2011, and 550 billion for 2012. Grand total 4.6 Trillion in (4 count them 4 ) years.
TWO WRONGS DONT MAKE A RIGHT. WE ARE BROKE.
And you GOPers blabber about Obama doing things just for spotlight and political showmanship? Please. The Stormin' Mormon is the peacock of political mating dancers.
For the ELEPHANTS to have any credibility in boycotting Obama's policies or actions, they will FIRST need to pay back the 5 trillion dollars left by giving W a blank check. Meanwhile, elephants still have big butts and they still use their trunks to choke or suffocate you. So, we just got rid of Darth Vader and the Sith. Let's not go back there. Remember, even in the Bible, in difficult times, Joseph (Genesis) had to help save the millions of hungry citizens and foreigners. I dont know about you, but I'm bagging up those grains. ,....
MItt and fellow republicans: The stimulus package is for your constituents not for you. Get that through your thick heads. The only way that the republicans would have thought this was for them is if they had gotten more tax cuts such as the ones given to them by Bush. We see how much that stimulated the economy. Right through the floor. Idiots.
How are we ever going to all become good communists if we don't make the few remaining Republicans shut up? Is it time to learn Chinese yet?
MITT ROMNEY.
GREAT.
INTELLIGENT.
REAL.
LEADER.
SMART.
FISCALLY SOUND.
BUSINESS MAN.
REAL WORLD KNOWLEDGE.
NOT SOME IDIOT FROM CHICAGO THAT RAN FOR OFFICE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS AND KNOWS HOW TO BE A CHEERLEADER BUT NOT HOW TO FIX THINGS, WELL UNLESS YOU ARE VENUZUELA and you are looking for a Dictator like CHAVEZ.
NATIONALIZING BANKS AND OIL WILL ONLY LEAD US TO SOCIALISM.
According to Republicans, monies for taxe cuts to the wealthiest, the avoidable war and defense (that goes to defense contractors not the soldiers) are OK, but not for the American people that do the labor and pay the taxes. SHAMEFUL – is the word!
no surprise!!!!!!!!! Hey let these republicans sink or swim like Wall St. If they think they are right, let them raise their own money etc. Hey that's what they want "Americans" average Americans to do, so let them practice what they are preaching!!!!!!!!!! Let see how much get donated to them?
DNC thugs vs. RNC thugs. RNC lied, DNC lied, Bush lied, Obama lied.
Time to start thinking third party locally, if you are tired of the same old politics.
I guess that's all Romney could pay after selling 2 of his 4 mansions.
RJ, wishful thinking. By 2010 the republicans will have dug such a whole they won't see light for 20 years especially if they keep up their rhetoric, anger, divisiveness and hatred. It's time to get over your loss in November and grow up and act like responsible citizens, not a bunch of disgruntled whiners.
Romney has a point. How does saving a mouse in Santa Barbara stimulate the economy?
I hope Mitt Romney runs for President in 2012. He is so smart and knows alot about the economy. It's too bad John McCain did not pick Mitt as his running mate. I think the election may have turned out differently.
The RICH dont make you poor.
Your lack of work ethic, lack of knowledge, lack of opportunity, lack of perceverence, lack of skill, or maybe even your lack of luck causes your life outcome.
Dont blame some guy because his family had money and he made more money.
People have an opportunity in America to get off their butts and make themselves a success. But they cant do that wilthout sacrifice. They have to live a good clean life and work hard to get there best case scenario.
The Mental with the Octuplets had as much an opportunity as anyone to be successfull in this country. But instead she chose to be crazy, have 14 kids, and DRAIN the US welfare system for everything it is worth. SHE IS A LOSER AND A Pariah on AMERICA.
Stop whining that your life is so so bad and try to pick yourself up and move forward. If you made bad choices in your life than that is your own fault and others should not have to pay for it.
You go Romney!
Soros bought obama his office knowing the man would destroy America.
Please Can somebody just throw a pie in his face!
These 12 repugs (and all but 3 others) stood up for "conservative idiot-ology" while telling the rest of Americans "Suck it up and loose your jobs and homes like real Americans".
When you "bite the Bit". (Racing terms.) You go for the lead.
I really wish the GOP would focus on helping pull the US out of this economic crisis instead of only looking for ways to get back into power. Small minds = small ideas.
The twelfth one is just waiting for his turn under Romeny's desk...
If we had a gold standard and no central bank this wouldn't even be an issue.
The money should have went to some needy family and stop this maddness poeple.
isn't that called bribery?
Boy could I teach you how, to win the Triple Crown. The Racing Expert at your service. "Unbridled">>>>>
OHH BOY, IT'S THE "PARTY OF NO" AGAIN! "TAX CUTS FOR EVERYONE"!!!
Matt in Detroit,
You are moronic!!! Still drinking the Repub kool-aid? Hey if Mitt had anything good to offer then he would have won the race... but he didn't.
Obama/Biden '12
Romney, don't you know these 11 or 12 people won't be anywhere to be found when you make your run for President...you think you're buying future favour with Republicans, but you're not.
Why did it reach these heights, Romney and the come latelys' have had their heads buried in the sand during the last eight years and suddenly they have fiscal insight, if you climb down from the ivory towers, refuse self salaries, then you have some merit
Mitt would make a great weatheman
Romney, the Republicans, and the Mormons are fighting for relevancy. If they want to put their money into defending their positions (Free and Strong America PAC, anti-Prop 8), that is their prerogative. But as we saw during the campaign, all of the money in the world can't help you win if your message is wrong. Romney and Obama both had lots of money, but Obama won his party's nomination because he had the best message.
The "undaunted dozen" is just another republi-con example of naming something the opposite of what it actually is. These undistinguised twits are more accurately just indistinct ditto-head "party uber alles" republi-con sheeple.
Jim@Obstructionist was last week's DNC talking point designed to belittle republicans and all of those who didn't drink the Obama kool aid or dream about walking in on his shower. I am sure those elitists have come up with something new by now.
This is obviously an attempt by Romney to build support for a primary bid in 2012. What Romney has not realized yet is that the far right Christian conservatives of the Republican Party reject his religion as a cult, and will attempt to defeat his primary bid.
Being a member of the political party that thrives on prejudice and division sure has its' disadvantages.
dummy!! what is the purpose of this? i think that 11 grand could have been put toward better use...typical...
Please remind me . . . what exactly did Mitt Romney and his Republican buddies do over the past 8 years to head off this mess we're in now?
Oh, yeah . . . apparently nothing other than contributing to it and cashing their fat paychecks. Say what you want about Obama, at least he's trying to do something. Trust me Mary – your stock investments would be disappearing much faster if Obama weren't pushing this stimulus package.
Keep posturing Mitt, that seems to be what you do best.
And....scene...
In Act II, he's going to go get an over-tan by "accident" so he can compete with Jindal and Steele...just watch....the guy couldn't be more of a strutting political peacock.
If the Republicans thought Mitt (with his 5 sons serving their country by running around in air conditioned buses getting Daddy elected) was the best choice, why not make him your party choice instead of McCain?
Because, competence is not a qualification for serving as an elected Republican! You have to be "born again" Christian ... not a Morman. The GOP had 8 years, failed miserably and have nothing to add to solving the problems: they just whine and quote Nancy's drug policy ... they just say no! The republicans don't even want to help their own people: posturing that about not taking unemployment funding ... let them eat cake – tax cuts for the rich – the failed policies of the past will be the failed policies of the future ....
The purchasing of support for his next presidential bid begins ...
when was the last time romney had to worry about a morgage or health care
Where were these fiscal watchdog Republicans when Bush was spending like a madman for the alst years? They didnt stand up and say NO to Bush and where was Rommey for the last years crying about the high spending of the Bush years and the 8 years the Republicans were in control of the House and Senate.....the answer...he was no where.
Sold two mansions, greed greed .
Your savior lost out to the old man
How much did SarahPAC donate?
WELL, LOOK WHO IS GETTING READY FOR A 2012 PRESIDENTIAL RUN.
I can't wait to see how many times his policy positions change over the next couple of years.
"Let me conduct a poll and I'll be right with you".
MITT...
YOU THE MAN.
THE OTHERS ARE JUST JEALOUS
If anyone thinks that Mitt is donating money because of his adherence to solid Republican principles.....LOL...He continues to posture for support in 2012! Anything to keep your face out there and look good!
DONALD.
The NEEDY family needs to get off their butts and get jobs.
I think the dems have a chance to have 97 senators over the course of the next few years. I plan to contribute to each and every democratic candidate trying to unseat a repug in 2010, 2012, etc.
Wow, the trolls are out today: NATIONALIZING BANKS AND OIL WILL ONLY LEAD US TO SOCIALISM. Hey, genius, the nationalization gig was first proposed by some socialist Republicans!
Mathew, Detroit,
Before you call others names you
should learn to add & read. It is obvious
by your comments that you can do neither.
FREE N LOVINIT. whatever...
PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH 5 TRILLION added to the national debt in 8 years.
Barack 1.6 Trillion in 2009, 1.3 Trillion in 2010, 1.3 Trillion in 2011, and 550 Billion in 2012. WOW. 4.7 TRILLION in 4 YEARS.
YEP YOUR GUY BARACK IS A HERO ON SPENDING.
STOP SPENDING. BUSH WAS WRONG. BARACK IS WORSE. THEY BOTH NEED TO GO AS DO ANY CONGRESSMAN THAT SPEND.
THE REPUGS IS ALL ABOUT POWER AND AND PRESTIGE. IT IS NEVER ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTS THEM. OFF WITH THEIR HEADS
Mathew, Detroit,,

Politics as usual
Romney/Palin 2012!!!!!
Mathew, Detroit,,
Before you call others names you

by your comments that you can do neither....
LIKE I SAID. THE REPUGS ARE ALL ABOUT POWER AND PRESTIGE. NEVER ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED THEM.
@Conservative Principles and the line of "No more of the rich … like Romney …. thinking they can buy elections and force a particular result."
And just which candidate bought 30 minutes of airtime for their infomercial, and spent more than any other candidate ever had when running for the Presidency?
So do you really, REALLY want to get into the topic of buying elections?
In a nutshell, Romney is a Douschebag.
Another attempt by Romney to buy a presidency. Look how well that worked out for him the last time.
Great Guy.
I wish this guy was running MICHIGAN.
This crazy broad we have has run the State into the ground.
She has buried us everday since she was elected. She has spent forward revenue from boating, licenses, etc... She spends more than she takes in and has put the state in a recession for the last 5 years. TRULY a TERRIBLE GOVERNOR.
AND what a joke Barack is picking her to head up an ECONOMIC committee. Does Barack really know what he is doing.
We are ridiculous as a country. Romney, you almost went broke running for president, so much for fiscal responsibility. Meanwhile Obama broke fundraising records. I don't know about the rest of you, but I want to listen to the guy who had a money surplus.
I'm sure everyone is proud of the stimulus plan that does nothing for anyone making comments on this site.
Obama made a huge mistake following Polosi's plan and orders, I really thought until that he had a great chance to do great things.
Oh well,
The Purchase of the 2012 Repuglican Presidential nomination by Mitt Romney, one contribution at a time.
The country is in a crisis and instead of contribute constructive ideas all some people know how to do is engage in partisan attacks for personal political gain.
Matthew, Detroit, you obviously know nothing about economics because I just read your statements. Second, Mitt Romney's dad had great business accomplishments, Romeny was present to inherit that wealth. Again, if he were such as savvy business man then why did he almost go broke campaigning for president? Hey, watch this Republicans, Bush not only put us in debt, but he combined it with your precious tax cuts which meant that there was more money not going into the economy. To cure the economy you have to spend. I wish these same Republicans put up this much of a fight when they sent our children off to war without thinking about the consequences and offered Bush a blank check. Again, your sort finds that to be savvy, and worthy of some sort of recognition. What is so hot about being broke as a result of Bush policies?
Folks, America was ruined before Obie got to it. To help out, we need the elpehants to pay off 5 trillion dollars left by W.
Barney Frank for President!
when will these morons on the right learn? now here we have this nuckle head mitt giving money so his party can get back the power they wnats.these people is all about power they dont care about america and americans. i wish and pray everyday that these obstructionist can all vanish from this earth soon. i wonder what pig belly rush limbaugh is saying about the indian americans who wants to be president? hahahah rush you will need some more meds.
I wonder which bank Romney stole the money from, or which Ponzi scheme.
LOL nice spin Romney! The Republican/Conservative "spending abuse" of the last eight years is what got America into the mess it currently faces.
Good for him. I just recently sent in a donation to his PAC so I am glad to see it is being used for good cause.
Good for him. I just recently sent in a contribution to his PAC so I am glad to see it is being used for good cause. I am tired of liberals ruining our country.
MITT.
STILL THE MAN
He's still around.
Please, if you are going to call him names, even when he deserves them, spell them right....it is douche bag!
What many of the GOP seem to forget is that the government is part of the people. They are not just the elite sitting there. So yes, there may be some stimulating of the government...of government spending on highways, bridges, levees, public buildings, etc. that looks like it is just spending on the government...but it IS creating jobs, it IS benefiting the people as a whole, and it IS necessary.
What he ought to be writing checks for is to buy them clues that tax cuts and tax breaks for the rich DO NOT work. Trickle down does not work. Get a new song and dance, this one is no longer a golden oldie but a smelly, week old fish, wrapped in the same old paper.
Yes, TWIT!
These Ostriches, had their head stuck in the sand for too long. All of a sudden they want to be fiscally responsible. Republicans have put this country in a $5 Trillion hole. I think Romney along with these Undaunted Dozen Otsriches should jump into that ditch they dug us into.
Maybe the Republican members should have been a little more"courageous"over the past eight years.Nitwits!!
I see that GOP accounting procedures haven't changed one bit. Romney says he has sent checks to the 'undaunted dozen', but only 11 congressmen received the money. So who got the twelfth check, Mr Romney?
Are you kidding me? These guys have become "targets" of the democrats? What a joke that is…by the time 2010 rolls around, most Americans will have figured out that they were hoodwinked by Kommandant Obama and his politburo.
That's what I call wasteful spending period.
Sweetheart mortgage deals offered to Obama and his collegues was nothing so it seemed. " It is not illegal because Iam the President" – Nixon. Sound familar.
i DONT KNOW ABOUT ROMNEY. hE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE WITH A FEW DEAD SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET.. ...
Matt,
Yes, President Obama spent money in his campaign, and very effectively marketed himself in ways that the GOP didn't understand. The interesting thing was that the greatest majority of the money spent was in the form of $20 – $50 donations from millions of people. It was the only method left to him after the GOP started using divisive tactics, name calling, bigotry, and innuendo.
And lest you forget, President Bush's first term was granted to him by the Supreme Court, some of which had been appointed by his daddy. Yippee. The popular vote was not for Bush and let's face it, the recount in Florida was a joke, and the people who suffered under his two terms being called traitors and communists for not supporting his illegal war in Iraq are now flexing their muscles. We might not agree with everything President Obama does and says, but at least we know what that IS, instead of finding out when it finally leaks outs months/years later.
Romney, and others of his ilk such as McCain, have no concept of what life is like in "real" reality. Let them face foreclosures on all their multimillion dollar homes and have all their fancy cars impounded, and their credit card rates go up to 30% or higher, and they'll be screaming loudly for help. They'll forget their "conservative" principles fast enough when it benefits THEM and their country club buddies.
Mitt Romney is a bag of garbage just like the rest of the racial republicans who are working overtime to use the black idiots that are with them for their personal gains. It will always be a white Republican that will put out to represent them in 2012. Unfortunately they will all be defeated because President Obama will win a second term in the White House.
Could the Republicans please wait a while until they start campaigning for 2012. I don't think we can stand this continued campaign postering. We are in serious straits here folk. Could you please let the grownups try to fix this mess we're in? The Party of "NO" will only continue to bad mouth President Obama and work against anything he or his administration trys to do. They would rather see this country be brought to ruin before they would work with Obama. Now that is a sad state of affairs! They have freaks like Keyes, Michael Steele, Rush and all the rest of the Faux News Network out there talking crazy stuff. These people need to put a lid on it!
Mitt who????????????
If Rummey had that much money then why was he selling his two houses? Maybe he did and that is the money he is lending. Stupid Republicans for taking this money from Rummey. It will come with strings and they will still have to ask the Government to bail them out. People take care of your people at home who vote for you instead of listening to stupid people who know they want get reelected.
I was forced to try it the Republican way for eight years. As far as I'm concerned the Republicans can go pizz up a rope. I will never believe one much less vote for one.
I find GOP criticism of the stimulus package hilarious. Next up 'stimulus' will be chosen as VP candidate then 'stimulus' will make history as choice for RNC chair. GOP get over yourselves. No one trusts you on economic and now military issues. See 06 and 08 election results. Stimulus is so horrible that the GOP Governors who have been making a show of railing against will only accept 97%+ of it. Ohhh the other 3% is soooo terrible!! BTW thanks for the lovely recession we've been having. Great fun watching so many ppl lose their jobs. Homelessness and joblessness rise sharply following 8 yrs of GOP.
I hope this comes back to bite Mitt in the butt!
Well said Laverne, Thank You.
I thought you guys on the left would be happy that you won and would ignore everyone on the right. You still are not happy but obviously cannot admit why. YOU WERE WRONG
Glad Romney is NOT president.
The Governor of California put it best, we should all act as though we're on the same team, The USA Team, and we are want to win. If the goal is to rebuild america, I challenge republicans to quit being the party of obstruction and start offering real solutions. Join the winning team for crying out loud and lets win this together or just get out of the way.
What happens in Utah,stays in Utah.You should stay in Utah Mitt,and raise a herd of women.
Obama is not one of use.
Obama is one of the rich.
You people have been fooled.
The only person that is for the people, by the people , of the people the corrupt MSM tried to destroy.
The corrupt MSM knew that and slowly and slowly more people will know.
Yes, tried to destroy!
You can't destroy what you have created.
GO MITT ROMNEY!!!
Thank Goodness for Romney! At least there are 12 intelligent
Republicans who are Against this Stupid Stimulus package and refuse to support it.
pelosi and obama have both gone crazy in promoting spending...........
Has everyone seen Pelosi's dirty little secret regarding her connections & conflict of interest in legislation regarding Starkist Tuna?
Maybe...just MAYBE if these Republican dick-heads would STOP focusing on their big selfish EGOS and them, them, them....
AND start focusing on the millions of Americans who NEED HELP getting back to work, saving their homes and fixing the economical mess they created!!!
This is NOT about THEM, it's about the American people who pay their hard earned money in taxes and SHOULD be the PRIORITY right now!!
I don't give a FLYING HOOT about Mitt Romney, John McCain, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Lindsey Graham..... these jerks ALL have a job and a pay check. SELFISH, SELFISH, SELFISH BIGOTS!!!
I agree with Rave.
